How your baby's growing: Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds ( like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. Her muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and her head is growing bigger to make room for her developing brain. To meet her increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because her bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.How am I feeling: Okay. Getting pretty uncomfortable and had some, what I think were, Braxton Hicks yesterday. But mostly I'm doing just fine.
